The Biggest Newsmakers of Y2K
By Disco Stu - Editor in Chief : Issue 5, Vol. II

I've reconsidered my concept of God and I think it might just be Britney Spears. To honor her, I've constructed a shrine as a tribute to her grace, her talents, and her perfect ass.

It looks like my shrine has done wonders, since the year 2000 was such a busy year for the reigning pop-princess. Britney began the year by preparing for the release of her second album. In May, she starred in her very own television special, Britney in Hawaii, which aired on FOX; the special was mean to coincide with her album release, which came out the same month. Her latest album--one that also utilizes the ellipsis--Oops! ...I Did it Again, debuted at number one, selling more than 1.3 million copies its first week.

She also wisely expanded her creative endeavors in 2000 by hosting (and singing in) an episode of Saturday Night Live, releasing a best-selling book, and doing promotions for McDonalds with label mate *NSync. She also did her second interview for Rolling Stone magazine and won several awards in the Teen Choice Awards.

In September, Britney took time off from her sold-out global tour in order to appear in the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Needless to say, Britney stole the show by performing a cover of the Rollingstone's "Satisfaction" and her "Oops! ...I Did it Again" in a body-hugging, flesh-colored suit. Additionally, Britney will serve as host of the 2001 American Music Awards, taking place in January in Los Angeles.

Of course, one of the biggest Britney facts to emerge this year was when, after months of speculation and repeated denials on both sides, she finally confirmed the rumor that has been plaguing her from the get-go: she and *NSync heart-throb Justin Timberlake are officially a couple. Damn that sexy Timberlake. Damn him!
